Teddy Bo card

Hello Everyone! Had a crafty shopping trip with Karen at lunchtime today, still in the 'zone' so just had to make a card tonight. I admit this is not the card I was going to make, but I really like it! Ist time I've coloured Teddy Bo (done a couple of Teddy Bea's before) and this is one of the stamps that came free with the Simply Cards & Papercraft magazine. Teddy Bo is coloured with Spectrum Noir and Promarker pens, the baking papers are printed from the internet and the card is Bazzill and from DCWV. Ribbons are from our local cake decorating shop (I got the last of the blue ribbon on the reel!)and gems are from stash. The dies are from Spellbinders. Hope you like him - could be my last day in Crafty Corner for a while as Brent should be home from working away tomorrow and then once we get Friday out of the way we have the extra long Diamond Jubilee Bank Holiday. Catch up with you soon!

Forever Friends Fortnightly Challenge - One for the Boys

Well what a lovely weekend we had, managed to have two BBQ's - fingers crossed for a repeat performance next weekend but as its Bank Holiday I think that will be doubtful! Anyway, today sees the start of a new challenge at Forever Friends. The theme for this fortnight is One for the Boys and is sponspred by Bugaboo Stamps. Here is my DT card. The Bugaboo digistamp I've coloured with Spectrum Noir pens and the umbrella also has glossy accents on it. The papers are from Everyday Flair MME paperpad and the card is from stash.

Cheers!......Alf and a Beer

I've now only got two more nights of my other half working night shift so I've had to make the most of being in Crafty Corner tonight and tomorrow! Managed to finish this card off today - coloured it a few nights ago - the digistamp is Alf with Beer from Digistamp Boutique and I've coloured him with Spectrum Noir and Promarker pens and I've also added some glossy accents to the beer froth. The papers I've used are all from the New Leaf paperpack from First Edition. The ribbon is from the Dovecraft Forever Friends range and the pearls are from Bo Bunney. I might use this card for my Dad for Father's Day. Hope you like him - I'm off for a pint (not!!) Lisa x Entered into the masculine challenge at http://www.drsdesignsblog.blogspot.co.uk/

Teddy Bea Birthday Card

What another lovely warm sunny day today - shame I spent most of it indoors at work! Never mind it is still meant to stay nice for the weekend and maybe we'll be able to uncover the BBQ for the first time this year! I bought the new copy of Simply Cards and Papercraft today as it had a fab free set of Teddy Bo stamps and papers with it. Liked them so much that I just had to make a card with them tonight and I chose to use Teddy Bea. I've coloured Teddy Bea with Promarkers and Spectrum Noir pens - and I quite like it! This is only the 2nd one of these stamps I've ever used. The card I've made using 2 shades of Bazzill card and a spotted lilac Dovecraft paper. The lilac ribbon is also from Dovecraft and the gems are from stash. The flowers are from Wild Orchid. The dies are both Sizzix Framelits. I hope you like her! Fingers crossed for the weekend weather :0) Lisa x Entered in to Sketch challenge and DT call at http://teddybochallenge.blogspot.co.uk/

Commissioned Wedding Card - SWALK 'I do'

This is the first wedding card I have made for ages and took me ages to try and find the right image and theme. I decided to use the 'I Do' SWALK stamp from Crafters Companion. After stamping about 8 images I finally got one that I could use that didn't have 'extra' black smudges! I've coloured this with Spectrum Noir pens and used the Spellbinders die for the main image. The pink card is bazzill from stash and the embossed paper is from Best Creations. Ribbons are from stash as well as the gems pearls, bow amd the 4 gem hearts that I've put on the inside. I've also added some stickles to the flowers (which are from Wild Orchid), the confetti part of the stamp and also the brides dress. Also going to use this stamp for another card I need to make for later in the year (luckily has a different colour scheme!) Hope you like it, all comments are welcome.
